The National Economic and Social Development Office (NESDO) is the only body under the aegis of my Department. I am satisfied that the NESDO complies with the relevant aspects of the code of practice, as well as the statutory requirements placed on the Office by the NESDO Act 2006.

My Department is currently reviewing the governance arrangements in relation to the NESDO in light of the recent Government decision to amalgamate its three constituent bodies by absorbing the National Economic and Social Forum (NESF) and the National Centre for Partnership and Performance (NCPP) into the National Economic and Social Council (NESC).
